More Sketches from 2007

More Sketches from 2007

These were drawn in a skectch pad I bought in the tourist shop at the National Musem of Country Life (Turlough Park House), Caatlebar, Co. Mayo

Images: 31 (a few are made up of 2 or more pictures edited into one picture)

Beauty of the Beast (5 mins) - 2005
My final year college film.

Story Board - 13 images

The following images are what little of a storyboard I had to work with. A lot of the ideas shown below were cut out of the final product based on time and energy requiered to actually animate them.





note: The writing is by a tutor. The notes suggest an extra scene showing the angel actually getting her wings removed.








This may have been the biggest mistake - I did not actually have an ending planned after this page of the story board - I originally wanted a fight scene to end the film.

Painting for Confirmation (Pentecost Sunday)

Originally posted on MySpace:

It's Confirmation time again, which meant the church was in need of decorating. I had drawn out different kinds of fruit and presents to represent the 9 fruits and 7 gifts of the Holy Spirit. I got the kids that are making their Confirmation to colour and paint them, in my absence.

There was still the problem of designing the altar. This year flowers were going to be arranged around the altar. However, this meant that the pulpit was bare. The original idea was to buy an already made banner or poster. I could not find one which left me with no choice but to paint one myself.

I used stretched canvas (3ft) and acrylic paint. And for some bizarre reason I left it until the last minute to actually paint, even though I had the canvas for just over a week.

By this stage I had already transfered the dove onto the

canvas. I don't think you can spot it though.
